Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay is out of jail after posting bond following his arrest in Carmel late Sunday night.

Irsay had nothing to say as he left the Hamilton County Jail in Noblesville after he posted bond of $22,500. Irsay faces four felony counts, among them Operating a Vehicle While Intoxicated and Possession of a Controlled Substance.

A statement from Carmel Police says officers pulled Irsay‘s car over just before midnight Sunday. Police say Irsay‘s car was traveling around 10 miles an hour in a 35 mile-per-hour zone and that Irsay failed to use a turn signal.

Irsay has publicly admitted that he has battled substance abuse problems for several years.
